Bottle tree, Boobajyn

A more personal connection is with the property Boobajyn, in the Burnett River hinterland, The tree depicted has claim to the earliest planting of the bottle-tree in this state as it commemorated the birth of William Burnett Lawless on 18 November 1862. Unfortunately it is now senescent and attempts are being made to strike cuttings.
